For banks, credit unions, lenders, wealth managers and insurers: one cloud dashboard for branch Wi-Fi, SD-WAN, switching and cameras, with current products, lifecycle dates and a control map for FTC Safeguards, NYDFS, SEC Reg S-P and PCI DSS.
Cisco Meraki gives every branch and office the same firewall, SD-WAN, Wi-Fi, switching and camera platform, managed from one dashboard with central logs, so policy, segmentation and evidence stay consistent across sites. It supports the controls that FTC Safeguards, NYDFS Part 500, SEC Regulation S-P and PCI DSS expect; your written program, risk assessment and evidence complete compliance. This free guide maps the platform to those requirements.
